The first J. Alexander\u2019s in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex combines elements of a classic steakhouse with approachable Southern favorites and internationally-influenced dishes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Brand-new at 3980 Dallas Parkway, J. Alexander\u2019s<\/a> is now serving its crowd-pleasing take on elevated American fare in Plano. <\/p>\n

Launched in Nashville in 1991, the brand now encompasses 38 locations across the country, including Texas outposts in San Antonio and Houston. Marking the first J. Alexander\u2019s in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, this addition to the local landscape made an entrance with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Jan. 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cTexas represents real opportunity for us, and Plano is the right place to begin in North Texas,\u201d says G.J. Hart, CEO of SPB Hospitality<\/a>, which also counts Krystal, Amada, Village Whiskey and Stoney River Steakhouse within its brand portfolio. \u201cThe market continues to grow, and we see strong alignment between the community and the brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

The menu hits a sweet spot for Plano palates, combining elements of a classic steakhouse with approachable Southern favorites and internationally-influenced dishes. All are served within a sleek, well-appointed dining room or atop the polished bar.<\/p>\n

Starting with steaks, J. Alexander\u2019s hand-cut filet mignon with b\u00e9arnaise ($51) and New York strip ($49), feature aged certified Angus beef and melting ma\u00eetre d\u2019 butter. Exclusive to Plano, regionally-inspired menu items include slow roasted prime rib ($44), the hardwood-grilled Texas redfish ($36) and seafood- and sausage-studded Mardi Gras pasta ($29). A starter of bacon-topped deviled eggs ($13) and the barbecue baby back ribs ($33) entree also speak with a Lone Star accent. <\/p>\n

J. Alexander\u2019s mini-menu of sushi rolls includes popular California and Rainbow Rolls ($15-18), as well as Crispy Rice ($21) with spicy tuna, Fresno peppers, green onions and unagi sauce.\u00a0 A range of craft cocktails, zero-proof mocktails and specialty martinis round out the drink menu, as well as an extensive wine list showcasing regional selections and popular vineyards. With entree prices ranging from about $20-50 including sides, the menu and setting at J. Alexander\u2019s combine to suit both special occasions and weekday meals.<\/p>\n

Of special note, in conjunction with its local debut, the restaurant also made a $5,000 donation to the Children\u2019s Advocacy Center of Collin County. The nationally-recognized nonprofit operates two facilities in Plano and McKinney focused on multi-disciplinary assistance for victims of abuse and neglect.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis support ensures children and families in Collin County can access resources and protection during some of the most difficult moments they face,\u201d says Erica Stanley, chief advancement officer of Children\u2019s Advocacy Center. \u201cWe\u2019re deeply grateful for the generosity that allows our work to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n
